Day Nursery State Center students help kick off event

Prevent Child Abuse Indiana claimed today, April 1st, as “No Bullying Day…No Fooling!“  Preschool students from the Day Nursery Indiana State Government Center took a walking field trip down the canal to be a part of the event kickoff.  Crews from Fox59 and WTHR13 were there to cover the event this morning.  Watch the news tonight and their website for stories about the event.

Indiana’s Kids Can’t Wait

Day Nursery joined forces this morning with several organizations including The Villages and Prevent Child Abuse Indiana  to kick off Child Abuse Prevention Month in Indiana. This year’s theme  is “Cherish Children, Affirming Families.”

More than a dozen preschoolers, led by their teachers Tim Tegarden and Toni Hayward from the Day Nursery in the Indiana State Government Center took a short walk along the canal to the Indiana State Museum to be a part of the press conference.  Several television stations were as well as WIBC-FM 93.1.  I just found this link to the story on Channel 13 WTHR.  I hope to catch the coverage tonight on the news.  The Day Nursery children sang a song about Abraham Lincoln to start the conference (what TV news crew could resist covering that?).
